The reactions I) to III) are carried out, for example, in an organic solvent
such as toluene,
xylene, trimethylbenzene in the presence of an inorganic base such as sodium
hydroxide at
a temperature of 110°C to 180°C, preferably 140°C to
160°C.

(X), the
corresponding compounds of the formulae (Xa), (Xb) and (Xc) may be prepared in
analogy

The intermediate of the formula (D) wherein n is for instance 3 and which has
a
polydispersity Mw/Mn of 1 may be prepared, for example, by reacting a compound
of the
formula (C) with a compound of the formula (B) in a ratio of 1:10 to 1:50,
preferably 1:20 to
1:40, in particular 1:20 to 1:35. The reaction may be carried out e.g. in an
organic solvent or
neat in the presence of an inorganic base. The solvent and/or the excess of
the reactant of
the formula (B) can be eliminated by distillation at the appropriate
conditions. Examples for
an organic solvent are toluene, xylene, trimethylbenzene, isopropylbenzene and
diisopropylbenzene. Xylene is preferred. Examples for an inorganic base are
sodium
hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.
Sodium
hydroxide is preferred. The reaction is carried out at a temperature of, for
example, 110°C
to 180°C, preferably 140°C to 160°C.
The compounds of the formula (I) as well as the described mixtures with a
narrow molecular
weight distribution are very effective in improving the light, heat and
oxidation resistance of

polyisobutylene,
polybut-1-ene, poly-4-methylpent-1-ene, polyisoprene or polybutadiene, as well

lene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), branched low density
polyethylene

Polyolefins, i.e. the polymers of monoolefins exemplified in the preceding
paragraph, prefe-
rably polyethylene and polypropylene, can be prepared by different, and
especially by the
following, methods:
a) radical polymerisation (normally under high pressure and at elevated
temperature).

- 24 -
b) catalytic polymerisation using a catalyst that normally contains one or
more than
one metal of groups IVb, Vb, Vlb or VIII of the Periodic Table. These metals
usually
have one or more than one Ifgand, typically oxides, halides, alcoholates,
esters,
ethers, amines, alkyls, alkenyls and/or aryls that may be either n- or Q-
coordinated.
These metal complexes may be in the free form or fixed on substrates,
typically on
activated magnesium chloride, titanium(III) chloride, alumina or silicon
oxide. These
catalysts may be soluble or insoluble in the polymerisation medium. The
catalysts
can be used by themselves in the polymerisation or further activators may be
used,
typically metal alkyls, metal hydrides, metal alkyl halides, metal alkyl
oxides or me-
tal alkyloxanes, said metals being elements of groups la, Ila and/or Ilia of
the
Periodic Table. The activators may be modified conveniently with further
ester,

single
site catalysts (SSC).

separating molecules by their difference in size and to obtain molecular
weight
averages(Mw, Mn) or information on the molecular weight distribution of
polymers.
The technique is well known and described, for instance, in "Modem Size -
Exclusion Liquid Chromatography" by W.W.Yan et al., edited by J.Wiley & Sons,
N.Y., USA, 1979, pages 4-8, 249-283 and 315-340.

EXAMPLE 1: Light-stabilizing action in polypropylene fibres.
2.5 g of the stabilizer shown in Table 1, 1 g of tris(2,4-di-t-butylphenyl)
phosphite,
1 g of calcium monoethyl 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl-phosphonate, 1 g of
calcium stearate and 2.5 g of titanium dioxide are mixed in a slow mixer with
1000 g of polypropylene powder having a melt index =12 g/10 min (measured at
230°C and 2.16 kg).
The mixtures are extruded at 200-230°C to obtain polymer granules which
are then
converted into fibres using a pilot-type apparatus (~Leonard-Sumirago(VA),
Italy)
and operating under the following conditions:
Extruder temperature: 230-245°C
Head temperature: 255-260°C
Draw ratio : 1:3.5
Linear density: 11 dtex per filament

The fibres prepared in this way are exposed, after mounting on white
cardboard, in
a 65WR Weather-O-Meter (ASTM D2565-85) with a black panel temperature of
63°C.
For samples taken after various times of exposure to the light, the residual
tenacity
is measured using a constant-speed tensometer, and the exposure time in hours
needed to halve the initial tenacity (T~) is then calculated.
For purposes of comparison, fibres prepared under the same conditions as
stated
above, but without adding the stabilizers of the present invention, are also
exposed.
The results are shown in Table 1.

EXAMPLE II: Pigment interaction in polypropylene plaques.
5.625 g of the stabilizer shown in Table 2, 13.500 g of Pigment Blue 15
"Flush" (50%
mixture in polyethylene) and 25.875 g of polypropylene powder (having a melt
index of
approximately 14 measured at 230°C and 2.16 Kg) are added to fill a
~Haake internal mixer
at room temperature (Haake Buchler Rheochord System 40 using a 60 cc 3 piece
Rheomixer with cam blades). The cam blades are rotating at 5 RPM (revolutions
per
2191832
-63-
minute). A ram closed the bowl under a weight of 5 kg. The temperature is
increased to
180°C and held at 180°C. The total time is 30 minutes.
The mixture is removed while at 180°C after 30 minutes and cooled down
to room
temperature. The mixture so obtained - called the "concentrate" - will be used
again.
0.900 g of this concentrate, 3.600 g of titanium dioxide "Flush" (50% mixture
in
polyethylene), and 40.500 g of polypropylene powder (having a melt index of
approximately
14 measured at 230°C and 2.16 Kg) are added to a ~HAAKE mixer bowl at
160°C. The cam
blades are rotating at 20 RPM. A ram closes the bowl under a weight of 5 kg.
The
temperature is increased to 170°C and the RPM is increased to 125. The
total time is 30
minutes.
The molten mixture is removed at 170°C, transferred to a hand held tool
at room
temperature and transformed into a round plaque 1 mm x 25 mm in diameter. The
mixture
now so obtained is called the "letdown" and the plaque the "letdown plaque."
Color difference, delta E (CIE color difference equation), of sample letdown
plaque
containing the stabilizer indicated in Table 2 versus control letdown plaque
without the
stabilizer are measured. The measurement is done using an Applied Color
Systems
Spectrophotometer Model CS-5 (USA). The measurement parameters used are
400 - 700 nm - scan, small area view, reflectance, illuminate D65, 10 degree
observer.
The above processing conditions are designed to simulate the manufacture of
concentrates
(masterbatches) of pigments and stabilizers and the subsequent let-down
(dilution) into
finished plastic articles.
A high delta E indicates pigment agglomeration and poor dispersion. A delta E
of 0.5 or less
will not be seen as different by the eye.

calcium stearate are mixed in a turbomixer with 1000 g of polypropylene powder
having a
melt index of 2.1 (measured at 230°C and 2.16 Kg).
The mixtures are extruded at 200-220°C to give polymer granules which
are subsequently
converted to stretched tapes of 50 N.m thickness and 2.5 mm width, using a
semi-industrial
type of apparatus (~Leonard-Sumirago (VA) - Italy) and working under the
following
conditions:
Extruder temperature: 210-230°C
Head temperature: 240-260°C
Stretch ratio: 1:6
The tapes thus prepared are mounted on a white card and exposed in a Weather-O-
Meter
65 WR (ASTM D 2565-85) with a black panel temperature of 63°C.
The residual tenacity is measured, by means of a constant velocity tensometer,
on a
sample taken after various light exposure times; from this, the exposure time
(in hours)
required to halve the initial tenacity (T~) is measured.
By way of comparison, tapes prepared under the same conditions as indicated
